framework within which political solutions can be found. We recall the
principles decided at the Rome, Vienna and New York Ministerial meetings.
We reiterate our strong support to the Presidency Council (PC) and the
Government of National Accord (GNA), headed by Prime Minister Fayez Al
Sarraj, as the legitimate executive authorities under the LPA, in line with UN
Security Council Resolution 2259, and we underline our firm opposition to any
attempt to disrupt the stabilization process. We urge all actors who have a role
to play, including those who are still outside the LPA, to engage with a spirit of
compromise towards the goal of achieving full political reconciliation, while
desisting from actions that would exacerbate internal division and fuel further
conflict. We reaffirm our full support to the United Nations Support Mission in
Libya (UNSMIL) and its mediation effort.
We commend ongoing efforts to bridge political differences and make Libyan
institutions more accountable, inclusive and efficient. We commend the
continuous efforts of neighbouring countries in support of the LPA within the
framework of the UN-led political process. We stress the importance of regional

There is no military solution to Libya’s problems. A solution can only be
achieved through inclusive political dialogue and national reconciliation. We
share the Libyan people’s desire to transform Libya to become a secure,
democratic, prosperous, and unified state, where state authority and the rule of
law prevail.
We welcome progress made in the Libyan economic dialogue and recall the

the GNA, and the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) to ensure the GNA has the
necessary tools to implement its fiscal and monetary policies for the wellbeing
of all Libyans. We call on the GNA and CBL to fully implement their agreement

government activities, bring the budget under control and end the liquidity
crisis.
We particularly urge all parties to refrain from escalating tension in the Oil
Crescent, as well as to work towards a durable solution that safeguards all
petroleum infrastructure, resources and revenues for the benefit of all Libyans.
We support the fulfilment of the LPA’s mandate to keep oil infrastructure,
production, and export under the exclusive control of the National Oil
Corporation (NOC) acting under the authority of the PC. All oil revenues
generated by the NOC must be transferred to the CBL, which must put the
